Its been too long since something like this happened to me...

Wanna hear a funny story? Thought so.
Yesterday, I was walking from french to biology. By myself. It was right when classes were changing, so there were a lot of people in the area. I was walking in front of Springs on the sidewalk when all of the sudden I hit the pavement. Tripped. Took a tumble. Wiped out. Became friends with the concrete. I blame a few things: 1. Danskos... those things are bad news. 2. My unusually heavy book bag. It didn't help as I desperately tried to not fall all the way down. 3. I was really tired so there is a chance I was falling asleep as I was walking.
Have you ever been in that awkward situation where someone you don't know falls, drops something, etc. and you don't really know how to respond? Yeah, there was a girl walking right behind me who is now a member of that club. Poor girl.
So back to me. I just kind of laid there for a minute. I didn't know how to respond because clearly a lot of people saw me, so I couldn't really play it off like nothing had happened. Luckily Kate and Emily walked up so I went into Springs with them to get away from the scene of the accident. I went into the bathroom to realize my pants were covered in dirt and my hands were bleeding, along with my knee. So I mean, I had 2 more classes to get to so I couldn't go to my room to get cleaned up. Therefore, I sat through those 2 classes with dirty pants, bleeding. I went to my room and changed my pants after class. I thought about changing my shirt too in case people remembered me because of the outfit.
The aftermath: my phone has a really big scratch with concrete stuck in it, my hands have a lot of scabs... making it somewhat painful to write, and my knee is swollen.
So there you go. Pretty hilarious, and awkward. All in one. How special.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
Peace and Love!

What could possibly be done in a theater lab??

Ok. SO I'm sure most of you know that I am in introduction to theater. Well apparently we have to have 10 "theater lab" hours by the end of the semester. I noticed today that I have acquired 0. So off I trotted to rack up some hours. I walked in and they handed me a drill. An electric one. So putting me with power tools probably isn't an awesome idea. Just saying. Then they started getting all sassy when I would ask questions regarding how to operate said drill. I'm sorry. Its been awhile since I drilled last. Not only did I have to drill, I also had to do some heavy lifting. Seriously. What am I a man?! So I was so incredibly bitter. That has nothing to do with the theatrics if you ask me.
There's a meteor shower tonight. "Once in a lifetime," or so I've heard. I'm waiting until 1:30 to go watch this thing. Hence why I'm blogging right now. This better be good.
So I hope all of you have a fantastic week!! Peace and Love!

I'm building an ark out back!

Its pouring. Torrential downpours, really. It is wet outside, my jeans can prove it to you. Would you like to know what would be a premo gift for you to get me for Christmas? Rain boots. That would be fantastic.
So let's see... its been awhile, as always. Proof that I have a busy life.
News since my last blog:
1. I got the swine. That's right! This girl had it! I mean, I thought I was in the clear when so many people got it right there after rush and I didn't. Apparently I was not immune. I was gone for like a week, but I'm back and better than ever!
2. Anna broke her foot and tore a ligament. Last year it was the broken middle finger (too bad I don't have a picture from that to put up here!!), this year its a broken foot. She is sporting a fabulous boot around campus. She tends to hobble, no big deal. How did she break the foot? GREAT question!! She was out a few weekends ago and fell off the stage at one of the fraternity houses. Hobbles Derrick walked around for 2 weeks before going to the doctor about the deformed foot she had due to said fall.
3. Its Christmas time at Target and Marble Slab!! Blythe and I went to Simpsonville yesterday to get my broken phone fixed at Verizon, and to get a few things at Target. Well. We went down Target's Christmas aisle and I grabbed some of my favorite white chocolate peppermint hershey kisses. If anyone would like to send me some as a holiday treat, you can find my address on an earlier blog post. Then we went to Marble Slab and got some peppermint ice cream!!! Delicious.

On a much more serious note, my RA is missing. Her name is Heather. Please pray for her and for her family as they look for her.
